Qui sommes-nous ? | Site web du CELLAM Historique Le Centre d’Études des Littératures et Langues anciennes et modernes fut fondé au milieu des années 1980 par Philippe Hamon et Jacques Dugast. A la fin des années 1990 quelques-uns des linguistes et spécialistes de la francophonie que comptait l’équipe l’ont quittée, si bien qu’elle s’est dénommée Celam (avec un seul L) durant une décennie. A partir de 1999, Michèle Touret a accompli un travail de normalisation, au meilleur sens du terme, en dotant notamment le Celam d’un règlement intérieur et en recherchant des partenaires scientifiques. En termes numériques, l’équipe a crû de près du double en huit ans, a triplé le nombre de ses doctorants. Règlement intérieur du CELLAM Haut de page...

eBooks and schools Hi! I am a high school English teacher and I have had a Kindle for about a year--and I love it! I can annotate my texts and project passages and my notes for the class through Amazon's site and my LCD projector . A recent update allows me to group my books in collections and wherever I go, whatever room I am in, ALL of my Kindle books are with me; the Kindle fits neastly in most purses. Classics in American and world literature are usually available for free,recent titles are usually $9.99 and I can even email my own documents to it to take to meetings or readings. Now I am not an Amazon employee-- there are a couple of downsides--I can't loan a Kindle edition and poetry doesn't always fit on the page elegantly. I'd be happy to answer any Kindle questions. Liz
Page-Turner April 8, 2014 Slide Show: Kurt Vonnegut’s Whimsical Drawings Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.,’s crude, ludic doodles—a beaver, a cobra, an asterisk-anus—are famous from novels like “Breakfast of Champions,” as is the curly-haired self-portrait that doubled as his signature. But making graphic art was, for Vonnegut, a hobby that extended beyond illustrations for his fiction: he painted seascapes and landscapes on Cape Cod in the nineteen-fifties; felt-tip drawings of abstract faces on discarded pages of manuscripts; and larger, more formal color drawings that he exhibited in a one-man show in Greenwich Village in 1980. What Muriel Spark Saw She loved lightning. To her readers, Dame Muriel Spark arrived aptly named and like a bolt from the blue in 1957, with her first novel, “The Comforters,” published when she was thirty-nine.

Feedbooks | Free eBooks for Android & iPhone/iPad Books Without Borders: The Digital Infinite Library | Endless Innovation It almost goes without saying that the recent demise of bookseller Borders, which is in the process of liquidating more than 200 of its superstores around the nation, was inevitable. The rise of digital book culture has made many of the traditional trappings of a physical bookstore presence obsolete. Booksellers like Borders and Barnes & Noble are trying their best to innovate their way out of a difficult situation - dedicating more floorspace to digital book readers, emphasizing higher-margin multimedia items (educational toys) and hosting more live events to draw in neighborhood foot traffic - but the economics of the publishing industry have forever changed. In the same way that Blockbuster could no longer compete with Netflix and eventually filed for bankruptcy, bookstore chains like Borders can no longer compete with online retailers like Amazon. And that's where it gets interesting. But does the Digital Infinite Library approach make sense?

The Death of the Book has Been Greatly Exaggerated Tech pundits recently moved up the date for the death of the book, to sometime around 2015, inspired largely by the rapid adoption of the iPad and the success of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. But in their rush to christen a new era of media consumption, have the pundits overreached? I’m calling the peak of inflated expectations now. Get ready for the next phase of the hype cycle - the trough of disillusionment. The signs of a hype bubble are all around us. In Clearwater, Florida, the principle of the local high school recently replaced all his students’ textbooks with latest-gen Kindles - without, apparently, any awareness that formal trials of the Kindle as a textbook replacement led universities like Princeton and Arizona State University to reject it as inadequate. Then you have pundits like Nicholas Negroponte, founder of MIT’s Media Lab, making statements to the effect that the physical book is dead in 5 years. Many tech pundit wants books to die.
